    Ordered the OEM part. Should be here in a few hours. I didn't want to risk it. Only cost me $25.

    Sooo, all I have to do is just stick it in, right? No special coding involved or anything?

      OK, Close the book on this one. Picked up the relay, popped it into Chewbacca. She started beautifully and ran just fine without any hiccups or stalls.

      I think she even drives a little better now. And that may have been the issue with getting her started as well, but we'll test out that theory tomorrow morning after a 12 hour sit.

      Ok, so what are the other 2 relays? the orange ones? I think I'll change those as well, just to be safe.

        If the relays are in the factory configuration, the one closest to the front of the car is the main relay. The middle one is the fuel pump relay, and the last is the O2 sensor heater relay. The relay sockets clip into the holder, so they may have been moved around in the past.
        The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
